New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Villagers' frontman Conor J.

Villagers have received early UK praise for 'Becoming A Jackal' from the BBC, Drowned in Sound, The Guardian, and many more. Earlier this month, The Guardian praised Villagers' "dark tales of obsession" in a 'Band of the Day' spotlight and The Stool Pigeon zine hailed 'Becoming A Jackal' is "early contender for album of the year."
